TED Studies, created in collaboration with Wiley, are curated video collections 逖 supplemented by rich educational materials 逖 for students, educators and self-guided learners. In Ecofying Cities, speakers reveal ideas about sustainable development (and redevelopment) that aren't all about setting limits, going without or preparing for the worst. Rather, they find solutions in resourceful, hopeful, beautiful communities.

Most of us will have heard the term Ballistics at some time or other - more often than not when we have been watching fictionalised accounts of police work on television or in the cinema.

What is Ballistics?
Ballistics is the area of Forensic Science that deals with firearms; how they are used, why they are used and why they are used frequently in the practice of murder.

What many people do not realise is that when a person is shot the wound and the condition of the victim can tell a lot about the nature of the weapon that has been used. Indeed if the weapon has been left at the scene of the crime - which sometimes happens when the perpetrator panics - the weapon itself can go a long way to providing valuable information as to the kind of person who has committed the offence.

Identifying a Weapon
Most guns have their own unique identifying features and even if the gun has not been left at the crime scene many degrees of information can be determined from the bullet, the nature of the wound and any residue that is left around it.

Bullets contain a mixture of gunpowder and cordite and these leave burn marks on the skin of the individual either wounded or killed, they also leave a fine residue on the fingers and hands of the individual firing the gun. These burn marks can signify closeness of the victim to the perpetrator, kind of weapon and also if the weapon has had any modifications made to it. Some weapons have been disarmed by having the firing pins and mechanisms removed but there are individuals who can 'reactivate' these weapons for use again.
Also, each weapon's barrel contains small ligatures and grooves, which, when a bullet is fired from them, make marks on the shell casing, which can be used as a means of identifying the make and model of gun if these shell casings are found at the scene.
It is also worth noting that an automatic - or semi automatic weapon - will expel shell casings as the weapon fires a round whereas a revolver will fire the round but retain the shell casing within the barrel.

Investigating
The field of ballistics is able to identify rifling patterns, marks made by using suppressors (silencers), shell casings, powder burn and many other different areas relating to the use of firearms and the evidence they leave behind.

Indeed most ballistics experts will be able to tell you the particular weapon simply by the sound of it being fired. They will also be able to carry out distance and depth tests which include firing rounds of ammunition into water, sand and other substances to determine how close a person would have to be to receive a life threatening wound from a gun.
Ballistics is a very important part of the world of Forensic Science and much of its evidence is used in criminal proceedings. In some cases the use of ballistics research can prove a link between many different crimes carried out over a lengthy period of time. This is also an important function of the ballistics team as many weapons are passed and sold on between criminals during their life cycle.

For those of us who are familiar with the use of Police Service Dogs (PSDs) in evidence gathering, or “Article Search”, it is certainly not a big step to think of PSDs as a possible tool in the location of crime scenes. Although dogs have been used with a reasonable amount of success over the years, it is surprising the number of dog handlers who have not ever considered using their PSDs to assist in this manner.
Crimes against persons often occur in one area and the victim either escapes or is allowed to leave. The trauma, shock and general confusion related to the incident makes it difficult for the victim to located the scene. In cases such as a homicide, the body is often moved in an attempt to mislead police. More and more, especially in gang-related crimes, in some of these cases, investigators may be able to gather some intelligence in regard to where the crime could have possibly occurred, and this is where PSDs are able to help. in many cases, the PSDs are able to go into an area and pinpoint the scene for investigators. For those dog handlers and trainers who do not include “Article Search” in their programs, "Tracking can often be equally effective in locating a crime scene with a PSD.
Those canine teams that are capable of both behaviours (Tracking and Article Search) have two weapons at their disposal in their attempt to locate a crime scene. In those cases, the dog handler can decide which behaviour to use, depending on the intelligence he gathers as well as the environment and other related considerations such as time frame, weather and contamination. In some cases, the combination of the two behaviours will allow the canine team to be successful.

"The Common Framework of Reference (CFR) is a criterion-referenced performance scale that supports educators as they work with a growing demographic of learners that require English as an Additional Language (EAL) supports. In order to ensure that such learners attain high levels of achievement across the Saskatchewan curriculum, the use of reference scales and corresponding resources is valuable to teacher planning and development of:
effective strategies to support English language learners; consistent approaches to instruction and assessment based on language needs; and, ongoing monitoring of student progress over time.
The Common Framework of Reference (CFR) is a well-established language framework that identifies ways in which learners at various levels of proficiency use language to perform meaningful, authentic tasks. The descriptors within the CFR identify observable behaviours that can be structured to support the attainment of provincial curriculum outcomes for EAL learners." (p.1)

Créé aux Etats-Unis en 1892, "Vogue" est l'un des principaux magazines féminins dans le monde. Il a fait l'objet de nombreuses déclinaisons internationales. L'édition française est consultable dans Gallica depuis son premier numéro en 1920 jusqu'aux publications de 1940. Le blog Gallica a consacré plusieurs billets à ce magazine et aux créatrices de mode réunies dans ses pages.

Major volcanic eruptions alter the Earth's radiative balance, as volcanic ash and gas clouds absorb terrestrial radiation and scatter a significant amount of the incoming solar radiation, an effect known as "radiative forcing" that can last from two to three years following a volcanic eruption. This results in reduced temperatures in the troposphere, and changes in atmospheric circulation patterns. This site uses text, photographs, and links to related sites to describe volcano-induced climate change.
